Frank Ancona

Frank Ancona (1966-February 2017) was Imperial Wizard of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Leadwood, Missouri during the 2010s. He worked as a delivery driver by day and had a passion for heavy metal; by night, he was the head of the Klan in Missouri, and he claimed to have 50-100 applications for the Klan each day by 2014. Ancona believed that whites were a superior race, but denied being a hate group, claiming that most Klansmen were into fraternal brotherhood. In February 2017, he was shot dead by his wife and son as he slept, and his body washed up along the Big River in Belgrade, Missouri; in 2019, his wife pled guilty to the murder.
